Loved it back in '94. 

Has a nice opening quote by Ovid, whose "Metamorphoses" are the classical
"background" of the novel. The quote fits to the Pynchon-List as well:

"Barbarus hic ego sum, qui non intelligor ulli."

"Hier bin auch ich nur Barbar, weil niemand mich verstehen kann."

Have any P-listers read this Lawrence Norfolk novel? Lots of Pynchon
allusions including a character called O'Trystero and lots of
conspiracy stuff surrounding British East India Company.
